LNG Canada ships 50th cargo

Shell-led LNG Canada has shipped the 50th cargo of liquefied natural gas from its Kitimat facility on the west coast of Canada.

LNG Canada announced the shipment in a statement on Monday.

However, the JV did not provide further details.

“As we continue through early operations, our focus remains on operating safely and strengthening reliability,” it said.

Shell and its partners started production at the first liquefaction train in June 2025.

In November last year, the partners launched the second liquefaction train at the 14 mtpa LNG export plant in Kitimat.

LNG Canada announced the departure of the 25th cargo during the same month.

With a proposed Phase 2 expansion, Shell and its partners plan to double the terminal’s capacity to 28 mtpa.

At 40 percent, Shell has the largest working interest in the LNG Canada JV.

MidOcean Energy, the LNG unit of US-based energy investor EIG, completed its deal to buy a 20 percent interest in Petronas’ entities in Canada, including a stake in the LNG Canada project, in December last year.

Besides Petronas and MidOocean, other partners include PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Kogas.
